Frooze Balls first came to be when company founder Jeremy Dixon attended a ten-day health retreat in 2004. Inspired by the ideas and delicacies shared there, he returned to his home in Auckland, New Zealand and opened up a café focused on healthy foods for a plant-powered diet. It’s in this environment that Dixon began to work on creating a bite-sized, vegan alternative to energy bars that would eventually be known the world over as Frooze Balls.

A “frooze-sion,” if you will, of whole-food and plant-powered goodness, Caramel Chocolate Peanut Butter Frooze Balls are crafted with a soft, chewy, outer shell that’s made from a combination of dates & peanuts, and rolled in dried coconut. Inside, you’ll find a center made of rich, smooth, and caramel-y peanut butter that’s also been flavored with a bit of cocoa powder. Each 2.5-ounce package contains five Frooze Balls, which all together contain seven and a half grams of protein. Ideal for before or after a workout, or anytime you feel the need for a little extra boost of plant-powered energy, we recommend bringing a pack along to the gym, on a hike, or stashing one at work, so you’ll always have access to a sweet, caramel-y pick-me-up.
